I flashed RR rom, but still no IMEI
There was an error while restoring firmware partition from miui backup of twrp
why restoring firmware
reflash firmware then then the rom (clean flash)
or best would be flashing stock rom

I downloaded mi flash tool. Where to get stock firmware?
You cannot get stock Firmware directly you need to flash stock MIUI ROM to restore all partition.
for stock ROM get it from MIUI website

Let me guess, you tried to restore all partitions (including firmware) in twrp?
If yes, you need to download a MIUI ROM.
I suggest to download this and flash through TWRP. Erase data and cache. Ignore the errors. If you can't flash it, go to mounts in TWRP and mount system manually. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634779892

Yes, exactly this happened and it showed error while recovering firmware partition.
Now, I used miui flash tool and flashed miui ROM, (It was 1.7GB) and then all ok. Imei recovered too.
Now on RR rom.

No gapps . Just clean flash and SuperSU if you want root. Do this from TWRP.

Ok. I read that on miui, after flashing suoersu, something called as lazy flasher is needed to flash, else miui won't boot.
Also, to reconfirm isn't Redmi note4x same as redmi note 4, just Chinese varient? The file I am downloading is labelled as redminote4x.
Honestly don't know. I dont root. I do any root stuff from recovery after decrypting data. Helps me sleep better at night

Restoring MIUI from TWRP full Backup.

Using Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon with Lineage 14.1 (Official SEP 27 build). Everything's working great.
But I was wondering about how to get back to MIUI (Stock) again. I have unlocked my bootloader officially, Took a full backup of MIUI before flashing anything, and when I say Full I mean everything including EFS, Boot, Recovery, Firmware and every other backup option available in TWRP 3.1.x.x. I ticked them all and it made a backup of 16GB total. After then I proceeded to do my normal Lineage Zip and Gaaps flashing and running Lineage OS successfully. Now if I want to revert back to MIUI :
Can I simply wipe everything in TWRP and just restore the full backup I made using TWRP?
Or can I just restore System, Boot and Data and I will boot into MIUI the way I had left it before, without any bootloop or a bricked device?
Or do I wipe everything and simply flash a zip file for my device from their official website either it be a Global Stable or a Dev ROM using TWRP (and then restore the backup I had made from within MIUI) ?
Or do I follow those fastboot methods of first flashing the stock recovery then proceed with flashing the official ROM from their website?
Please let me know what would be the safest and also the complications with each method if possible.
Necroposting because this is the first result when Googling "twrp restore miui" and a response would be nice.

No need for efs , recovery, firmware backup
U need only system, data and boot to restore.
If ur backup is older then flash 10.2 recovery rom .

Thanks a lot. Just to make sure, flashing the Global stable or developer from miui's website will re lock the bootloader? Twrp will be gone? Will I not get stuck on boot without flashing lazy flasher with the rom? Lastly, will I be able to update OTA?
Again, thanks a tons.

Official OTA support is ended for kenzo. Dont expect nougat from xiaomi.
Stay on custom rom if u want pie.
U can flash xiaomi EU rom using twrp if u want custom miui rom. No stock gapps . only playstore is added. Good performance.

Yeah I was thinking of switching to Havoc Pie from RR Oreo but I want SE Linux Status to be Enforcing. Is it safe to use permissive status as a daily driver?

Selinux is for protecting ur Userspace so that any external untrusted malware apps cant still ur personal information.
If u using magisk then make sure u pass ur safety net.
Havoc already have things like Privacy guard feature to protect ur personal apps. U can enable and select it for ur personal apps.

Selinux is toughest part for devs. Only pro devs can do it. If u dont right proper sepolicy then rom wont even boot. Adarsh did it coz he knew how to do it. Amol tried it may be. But it need lots of patience to understand where to allow and deny for every permission for each process.

First flash new vendor mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/ latest atm is 9.4.25 i think. You should ofcourse clean wipe before doing the vendor. After flashing the vendor the rom should no longer give error 7

Personally i don't play pubg but some of the people in telegram group do so support is in the chat group if needed some seem to change kernel to gain some performance but i think it performs good enough unless you have touch issues that some fts users have
I would not recommend flashing miui through twrp as many have reported that it bricks the device or maybe they are just doing something wrong
Twrp is best for custom roms
Use mi flasher for flashing miui

You don't have to flash any vendor zip if you're going to flash MIUI 10. If you wish to flash MIUI 10 for example from en.miui.com the global MIUI 10 then you can just flash the MIUI zip following magisk if you wish to have root then just reboot. You will have to flash the vendor zip if you wish to flash custom rom as custom rom don't have vendor firmware in it. Flash vendor first then the custom rom zip following with gapps and mod optional.
And yeah, if you flash custom rom and then flash MIUI back you might get region locked where you cant change the region, but I've solved that by flashing cust.img from global image zip using fastboot, this is because the cust partition isn't installed properly. It's the best to flash using Mi Flash, but it will encrypt you device. Do it on your own risk, im just simply sharing from my experience and im not responsible if your device change to iOS.

Yes you can flash any Miui Rom via TWRP Download The Flashble Zip Not the Fastboot One.
But When You will flash Stock MiUi 10 Rom Via TWRP You will Loose All Of Your Data.
You Need to Flash DFE After Flashing Stock One.
If You want To Flash Custom Rom
Flash Vendor
Flash Rom and Gapps
If You Want To Root Flash Magisk.
And Then Any Custom Kernel.
Reboot to System.

Going back to MIUI after installing custom ROM?

Hello.
So i want to go back to MIUI, i have installed the Havoc-OS rom but i had too many issues with it, so i guess a more normal experience for a change would be great.
The problem is that i tried flashing the official rom through twrp and it never booted, the i tried the fasboot rom through miuiflashtool and it booted for like a second and then rebooted after saying something about corrupted memory so i couldnt finish the set up, and i keept doing the same, I tried flashing again with the flash tool and it iti didnt boot.
right now i installed twrp again, and managed to install another rom (ION).
but how can i properly install miui from this point? i suspect im missing something relly basic, but i havent toyed with roms since the lg g3 and english its not my main language.
thanks in advance
you forgot to turn off find device setting from your last MIUI rom settings. you need to flash your last MIUI rom version. which means If you were in MIUI 11, flash MIUI 11 now. if this dosn't solve your problem then install TWRP and flash XIAOMI.EU rom. after that, finish the set up and turn off find device, then you will be able to flash any MIUI official rom through mi-flash tool..
was stuck in same situation. what you need to do is to format data.
I'd suggest install orangefox recovery
format data
clean install one aosp rom again and boot
now format data again and clean install miui rom which you want to use
MIUI will successfully boot.
once it starts working, you can flash using Mi flash

I had the same problem, flashed again MIUI 11 to disable this "find device" but it does bootloop.
Clean flashed MIUI.EU rom and got bootloop aswell.
Also i'm having bootloops with aosp roms too, i dont really know what's going on. Usually fastboot flash always solved everything.
When I flashed miui recovery rom theam centre is in Chinese language I flashed global stable rom any fixes for that please
